    Where do I begin with this one? There so much to speak of for a movie that had so little to say. Shall we start with the horrible premise? The horrible dialogue? The horrible acting? Or the horrible everything else?

    Let's put it this way...I walked out. I never walk out of a mov...( read more)ie ("never" = "hardly ever.") The plot was "spread" so thinly on a wafer-thin canvas. There was no drama to speak of; no characters to empathize with; no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

    Basically, we have Ashton Kutcher solidifying his status as worst actor of all time--seriously, he's worse than Hayden Christiansen. And the "acting" should have come easily for him in the role; since he's practically playing himself: a good-looking (debatable), charming (even more debatable) womanizer who has a predilection for loosening up already loose 40-somethings in order to gain prominence in society. Does the name "Demi" ring a bell, anyone?

    Even with the real-life parallels, Kutcher blows it so badly that every scene in which he appears (which is sadly EVERY scene) is atrocious. And don't get me started on the horrible narration he provides.

    The story arc for these characters were non-existent. Pretty people behaving badly has been done so many other times--and so much better than this tripe. Why would I want to go and see beautiful people getting themselves into the worst situations and not learning anything from it? Oh, that's right. I didn't sit through the whole thing, so technically I don't know if lessons were learned in the end. But let me tell you...it didn't look promising.

    The movie was a complete waste of celluloid and I fear that my review of it may be an even worse waste of time and cyber real estate. I shouldn't even finish this review at all. Just spread the word: this movie is unfulfilling, vapid and incomple--

    Good movie. I liked the story, the ending in particular, and I thought Kutcher gave a decent performance. There is a lot of sex, but there's also enough drama to the story to give the main characters added depth. I admit Spread's may not be for everyone, but I would still recomme...( read more)nd it.

    "It's a business doing pleasure."
    A roller coaster of highs and lows with a life lesson.
    It's a kill-time movie. Neither good or bad.

    I dont know where this movie was trying to go and I cant decide if this was a drama, a comedy, or a romantic film. I think that it had a little bit of everything and unfortunately it didnt work as any of them. In order for it to be a drama it should have had character develpment,...( read more) if it wanted to be a comedy it should have been funny, and if it wanted to be a romantic film it should have had some romance in it and not just sex. I think that as the title suggests they just spread every film genre into this movie and the combination was a bad result. Everything in this movie was just bad and didnt seem to work, begginning from the narration by Ashton Kutcher with a voice that didnt seem to fit his part, to the acting by the enitre cast, to the dialogue, and to the story which was unoriginal and plain. The movie didnt seem to go anywhere for the first hour and it only focused on showing a lot of sex scenes. It felt pointless and by the time it actually began to go somewhere my interest was already lost in the film. I didnt really care for any of the characters and couldnt care less to who ended up with who.

    Ashton Kutcher plays Nikki, a playboy who lives in Hollywood and who seduces rich girls in order to live off them. Thanks to his looks he has no problem in getting girls and when the movie begins he seduces Anne Heches character, Samantha, who lives in a nice mansion and drives a mercedes. Nikki moves in with Samantha but he continues to go out with other girls and has casual sex with them. When Samantha goes to work, Nikki stays at the pool all day and when she travels he has parties at her house with several hot girls. Sonia Rockwell plays Christina and she is just one more of the girls on Nikkis list that he calls when he has nothing else to do. Another one of the girls is Emily, played by Rachel Blanchard (known for her TV roles in 7th Heaven and Clueless). One day Nikki meets Heather (played by Margarita Levieva who is better know for her role in Adventurland as Lisa P) and he actually falls in love with her. Soon he discovers that she is just like him, she goes out with wealthy men and lives off them, but he really likes this girl and wants things to work out.

    I already mentioned that I didnt like Kutchers voice in this movie, it didnt feel natural and the narration didnt work. The only character that I thought was ok was Heather. Margarita Levieva was probably the best thing about this movie and I wish she had more screen time, her chemistry with Kutcher was believable but the movie wasted too much time to get to this point and I had already lost my interest in Nikki or what would happen to him. The best thing about this movie was the ending, it was not your typical Hollywood movie and I am glad it ended the way it did, but it was just too little too late to save the movie.

    The momentum is lost halfway through, and I don't think this is a comedy at all. A lot of fucking.

    Abran paso a un sujeto que no vende nada, no coompra nada y lo poco que comparte es una ilusion, un tipo que vive de las apariencias o su apariencia mejor dicho.

    Aclaro que aun no pude verla completa de una sola vez y tarde varios dias en animarme a completar de verla pues me ...( read more)aburrio, no supo atrapar mi atención, como pocas lo han echo, y es que a pesar de tener un poco de todo (drama, romance, comedia) lo tiene en pocas cantidades casi minimas y eso la convierte en un fiasco aunque no visual pues tiene unas escenas eroticas interesantes si es lo que te interesa adelante pero no esperes nada mas, por que desde el principio el papel de Ashton me parecio sobreactuado incluso en el tono de su voz para acentuar la sobervia de un personaje supuestamente galan pero que resulta poco crehible, sería bueno decir que me parecio un Kelso aumentado a la decima potencia, basta con oirlo al princpio cuando dice que él se sabe guapo inmediatamente me remitió al personaje que lo catapulto a la fama aquel chico cara bonita e idiota incorregible de "That 70's show" Kelso ciertamente Ashton es atractivo debo admitir siendo hombre pero el interpretar un papel tipo Alfie con varias carencias no fue lo que uno esperaba.

    Lo que no entendi fue porque usaba tantos tirantes era como su sello caracteristico

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Props to Kutcher for going to surprising, painful places. There's something haunted in his portrayal that hits hard and sticks. full review
